Shaping up nicely. Suspect Jafaar will try GP2/FR3.5 if he has the budget though. He's had three (?) Seasons in F3 & GP3 would be a bit of a sideways step for him, even with the new car. Can't say Wartique or Piria would be big losses either.

Harvey has been confirmed at ART Lotus (or whatever they're name is now)

Think the British F3 to GP3 route is a very good one. Brit F3 gives you loads of milage (30 races a season) and miles of testing too so its a great place for learning but GP3 is needed for learning all the relevant GP2/F1 circuits.

Expecting good things from Jack, already ran most circuits in Formula BMW back in 09/10 so should be well prepared plus a new car reduces the advantage of the series returnees.

Albon is a weird one, incredible karting record suggesting he could be very, very good but was nowhere in FR2.0, i know not all karters hack it in cars but i can't remember one who has failed so badly!

For this level, I will argue yes. Well, if she was a title contender, maybe not, but when she is at best a mid pack contender, she is old. Especially when Mitch Evans took the title at 18, and was a winning contender a year younger. She's the oldest "confirmed" driver on the grid so far, and of those, she's the bottom just in terms of prior results.

Could see stun and win (or at least score points)? Sure! I don't think many expected Matias Lane or Aaron Vainio to do what they did last year in GP3, but in comparison, they only did 2-3 years of Formula Renault/Formula Abarth experience, opposed to Samin Gomez, who has run those series for 5.

Would be a step down IMO, but a very good move for him. While he did very well in 2011, along with his tough 2012 season, I felt he might be in the wrong series for his prior experience.

Yes, it is a step down, but it is a cheaper option for him as he lost Gravity backing (they still support him, but not financially). He needs to do something fresh because 3rd season in WSR would be rather uninspiring. Also, GP3 is closer to F1 with tyres and tracks. So in ideal it would be one step back to take two steps forwards ;)It is quite a nice grid shaping up so far!
